lyrics

Diamonds

If the world is pressurized
Cauterized, exorcized, flatlined
If we’re all in black-and-white like
So much splatter of myopic paint
If our quietnesses are silences
And our kindnesses are
Shouts in this new world of ours
Let’s hope the pressure
Let’s hope the pressure
Makes us diamonds

I’m sorry people x2
For when I get jealous
Or go down the upswing
Forgetting that you’re human too

If the world is pressurized…

I’m excited, people x2
To see you face-to-face
To feel the pressure of your handshakes
And your embrace

If the world is brighter now
Let’s hope it’s brighter because we’re aware
Because we’ve got another step absorbed
As to how we get to where
There’s a rainbow connection somewhere
Somewhere over itself
And we can put away the posturing
And just be ourselves
